Reviews LS2's latest flipover lid impresses for practicality, comfort and daily usability across long distances
Customers appreciate the LS2 helmet for its versatility, allowing use as both a full face and open face helmet. It garners praise for comfort, with many customers noting it feels lighter than expected and fits well, especially on long rides. Features like the integrated sun visor and smooth-operating front guard are highlighted positively. While the helmet generally performs well in ventilation and noise reduction, minor issues such as wind noise and moisture at high speeds were noted but deemed easy to address. Overall, customers express satisfaction and recommend the product.
The build quality, fit and finish are very good. I tried several helmets from different brand and cost ranges. I was recommended this helmet by another customer in store and there recommendation was spot on this is a great helmet
I've a lot of helmets, I admit it, and expensive ones at that! So, I wasn't expecting this to be as good as it is! I bought this to be my touring lid, and added comms to it so I can connect to my pals on a recent bike camping trip, and this helmet did not disappoint. I love the versatility of this lid, and riding it with the face open, chin guard tucked right at the back so it doesn't get affected by the airflow was, to me, a game changer, particularly in this hot weather. My only reservation before buying was the overall size of it, I'm a size small so thankfully it is the smallest of their 3 shell sizes, but having compared to other modular helmets, I now understand that it is as small as you're going to get in a helmet of this type, and LS2 have done a brilliant job of trimming it down. Let me further add that my pals each have modular helmets but their chin guards only go up so far, not over the back like the LS2 Advant II, this caused some light-hearted jealous comments amongst the group, and so of course I made the point of opening up the face as often as possible and threw in the odd quip as you do! I tried the LS2 on in a shop and compared it to another reputable and long standing brand (mentioning no names) with the same features and surprisingly the LS2 felt by far the better quality helmet, much more plush, better quality materials, the action of the movable parts felt more precise, and having the removable chin curtain only added to the quality feel. This is also my first helmet with the internal sun visor and this means that I now don't have to carry multiple visors on touring trips and longer journeys. In addition, this is glasses compatible and my reading glasses, or sunglasses slide onto my face so easily when wearing the helmet, no snagging, no pinch points and no temple pressure. Back to speaking of comms, the helmet does have predefined recesses with pull out foam inserts for running a comm system in it, though as my system isn't LS2, and probably the speakers on mine are a millimetre or so thicker, I did have to cut away the plastic housing and reduce the depth of the Polystyrene inner shell by approx 2mm just to stop the speakers from pressing against my ears and causing discomfort, but it was a neat enough job and with the speakers installed, they just look part of the helmet. That said, LS2 have done a really nice job of designing the accommodation of comms into the interior and I'm sure their own system fits perfectly. Now I have this set up just for me, I will be grabbing this lid off my shelf more and more! This is a shame for my day-to-day helmet of choice, my 'John Doe One' helmet which is arguably way cooler in terms of styling…but just not a patch on the LS2 for practicality! Good job LS2, I would definitely recommend to others.
Always difficult to replace a helmet and find one which fits comfortably. I needed a new helmet for a trip to Europe and this one felt the most comfortable. Have just worn it for five days in hot conditions and was so comfortable. Worked well with my existing intercom. Chin bar flips right over and great for a bit of air in the heat.
The LS2 completely outclassed the other flip over helmets I tried. Very comfortable and easy to get on. Glasses are easy to wear even with the sun visor down.
I have only had this a year and already discarded it.The concept of this helmet having a flip back is very good.
Minus-you have to make sure this helmet is for your style of head. For me very noisy
It's really simple to use, even with gloves on. The helmet isn't heavy, so no sore neck after a ride. In this hot weather its kept my head cool and not sweaty
Good fit comfortable fast delivery easy operation very pleased would reccomend
I had originally ordered about 5 helmets to try or buy in Norwich (inc Caberg Duke, Scorpion Exo, LS2 Strobe and SMK Gullwing) in size XL since that is the size I normally wear. Chris quickly determined that all the ones I had reserved were too big and he spent some time ensuring that I found a good fit in another helmet. The LS2 Advant felt tight at first, but it now feels comfortable and secure. All modular helmets are heavier than straight full face, but this one is actually slightly lighter than my previous helmet.
My thanks to SBS and Chris in particular.
Great the way the modular design works well thought out and the extra sun shade is a bonus, can also be used in the open position unlike some of the others
Hoping the noise levels are as good as reported
Seen this helmet as was shopping for a new flip over and this was a good price. Road tested and can not fault it. Was a bit of wind noise but mainly down to it being pretty windy when I was out but in the areas with no wind it was very good. Another great product from sportsbikeshop
Loved the helmet easy to install cardo product
The fit is perfect on the head, it doesn’t move around and provides a strong sense of security while riding. The visor offers excellent visibility without distortion and protects very well against wind and rain. Another positive point is the ventilation system, which works very well and prevents the inside from becoming stuffy, ensuring greater comfort even during long periods of use.
Fits loverly, looks good and good price. Also fast delivery and good returns service.
As a new helmet was due for 2026 I decided to visit SBS in Boston and having done my pre-visit research on line, I drew up a short list of three helmets which I wished to try for comfort, fit and weight - they all vary slightly - and as all my choices were in stock I reserved all my choices and sizes on the in house screen.
The Staff at SBS were not only patient, but were most knowlegable about my selection which ended with me choosing the LS2 Advant 2 in the triple matt grey &hi viz colourway.
This helmet was worn at home for for an hour to ensure fit and comfort before being used on a 100 mile rideout. I was not disappointed in my choice - comfortable, light in weight and easier to operate compared to the others short listed.
The price was the most competitive and the 5 year warranty brought me total peace of mind.
Thank you SBS for your exemplary service.
What can I say, the usual top quality from LS2 on this helmet. Great fit, although I found my usual size of large a little tight at the front of my forehead so decided to swap for the xl which was perfect. Sportsbikeshop.co.uk again great service.
Helmet has all the features you'd ever want in a helmet amd comes with the pinlock in the box.
LS2 is very well finished and a comfortable fit. Looking forward to the coming biking year.
As usual, Sportsbikeshop's service and delivery was superb.
Ordered new helmet extremely fast delivery and good price also added dark visor well worth the money will use sportsbikeshop again thanks :)
First impressions, good looking helmet.
With a quality fit and finish.
Vents work well , with good airflow, pin lock 120 included . The chin bar extends all the way to the back ,which I like , specially on the warmer days.
The only negative I have found at the moment is no tab for lifting the visor, more difficult with gloves on , which seems strange as to why there isn’t one .the visor pops open when you press the small button , but then you’ve to get it open. Which is why 4 stars and not 5 .
Find it cheaper at any major motorcycle accessory retailer, online or in-store and we‘ll match it.
